A lot of the cheap e-books are the older classics and the self-published works, which isn't everybody's thing.

Exactly why I don't buy a Kindle for my mother, even though she reads far more than I do... she buys all of her books for $.25 and then gives them back to the thrift store. The Kindle would never approach that price for her legally, and the library selection stinks, and requires a computer to navigate (which she can't ever seem to figure out), even as easy as Library lending is on the Kindle.
